Our teaching program
Shibari Syllabus
No single student progresses at the same pace as another. All students will need to practice their skills beyond our workshops in order to progress as a shibari practitioner. Many students choose (or need to) to undertake classes multiple times at the same level to become proficient enough to move into a higher level of workshops.
Students are highly encouraged to participate in our Rope Jams, as a way to practice, share skills, and establish themselves as a member of our local rope community.
